If you think we could have hired Mullen you should probably stop posting.

Where in there did I say we could have hired him? We did not even broach the subject of hiring him or anyone. We took the Larry Templeton way out and promoted from within. And I do know FOR A FACT that Keenum and the bigger boosters think they are better than him. That is not an opinion.
What has that got to do with their supposed terrible defense argument of the only reason we scored 17 tonight? We suck but Barbay and the players had somethings going, you just can't have those 2 horrible picks by the QB to dismiss that the OC, OL, RB's etc where actually competing and had an offense capable of more tonight.
That was in T-Town with a young team and not in Vegas with cowbells ringing in their ears. And tonight they were miss their stud LB who calls the D. And this is by far Saban's 2nd worst team.
I am interested to see how our offense evolves this season tho. Saw some things I liked.
We are all pissed off. Well maybe 34 and possibly Homedawg because I don?t believe I have ever seen him post while upset, but even you two guys can?t deny this feeling we are all having is eerily similar to Croom. Even with Simeon?s defense, we at least knew Mullen had an offense.
We scored 17?great, we lost the game. I care about W and L column. I don?t care if we ran the triple option but won, I?d take it.
It doesn?t matter what leach did, or Mullen did, or Barbay did we still lost. And this Bama team isn?t the typical Bama team of the past ten years. 34 says this is the best offensive performance since ?98?that?s laughable when CROOM was the last one to beat Bama two years in a row. He must?ve forgot that ?14 and ?17 game too. But you know the common theme in all? We still lost but we still had hope based on other games. We have no hope with this team. We have a lame duck HC who does NOTHING on the sideline except listen to Peterson and Campbell and looks at scoreboard. That is unacceptable. What?s also unacceptable? Being aware of a talent gap on your DL and TE and not addressing it. Obviously the transfer evals on TE was bad (how do you not know of the Spivey issue beforehand). I?m all for finding bright spots-ask Vegas Steve my thoughts at times on Joe and Leach. They had ?grooves? in their offenses too but guess what?they won. This guy won?t win because he is clueless and isn?t leading his team.
LMAO ... 34 lobbying for a job on this staff. He sucking up.
This year Rogers is holding this offense back. Last year it was all Leach's Air Raids fault. Hate to break it to him but Will don't play good against ranked opponents. This year and last year too. In '21he did.
Banker- You gave the best summary of it.
CZA also lied about saying he would not change much, and then let the offensive staff go, to make room for they buddy system.
Then a few weeks ago telling the SEC network he changed the offense because of time of possession.
This crap is akin to hiring Cohen as AD.
That?s how you wanna play this? Dude just stop. Everyone knows my thoughts on Rogers (which by the way drove the ball to the two before he fumbled it). Fact is, had Bam not made a helluva play the almighty DC?s defense would?ve lost us the game because he let them go 98 yards with soft zone coverage per usual
Where is your smartass reply to Auburn or Illinois? Who drove the ball for both those to win it?
The 3 last years we were further away from beating them, at least we had a freaking pulse on offense this year. If all you care about is Wins, then you sure as shit should have been hollering louder about the last 3 years than tonight. Sure don't recall you blasting away the last 3 years. I may be misremembering
Saying "last 3 years" which included a Covid season the year CML became coach, with no spring practice. CML brought us the best group of WRs we have seen in a while, and had signed mobile QBs.
Hard to really predict this year but against this Bama team, moving the ball has not been a problem for teams.
He won games, but also had a good eye for talented assistant coaches. He had some on the offensive staff.
CZA, instead of thinking "CML saw something in some of these guys", instead decided "no, I bet a former HS coach, and some others in MS know alot more about good coaches than Coach Mike Leach.... so I need to fire them all and listen to these guys instead..and hire their friends"
We have looked like shit for all 6 straight games under this shit coach, but you're gonna keep defending him on some shit moral victory that we "scored" more tonight than Leach did?!? This is the worst Bama team since Saban's first. With that shit logic, maybe we should hire Croom again... hell, he beat them. GTFO, you've lost all cred. Can't wait to hear what you cooked today before this shitshow... lolz.
It?s not even a Leach vs Arnett argument. That?s what people are missing. It?s stating this: we hired a guy in over his head. To make matters worse, we brought in a bunch of guys who were ?Mullen Country Club? (labeled here and speaking on Turner/Knox), Peterson who was previously fired, Bumphis because he played here but never did anything on a coaching level, and Will Friend from Philly who had been fired several places. Friend?s name has been tossed around so much throughout the years trying to be brought back it was laughable. Then we bring in Campbell and Joey Jones (who people were happy that we let go the first time). People tried telling people this was bound to happen.
And Clark?Will Rogers is who he is and I learned that two years ago. He plays not to lose. That?s who he is. So that?s on you if you ever expected him to pick up and try to push down the field. A coach wasn?t changing that. That?s who he is. He is afraid against bigger named teams. Always has been, always will be. So you know why I didn?t run my mouth? Because a good coach coaches to his players and hides stuff-Leach did. They leave him out there now to lose confidence in himself, etc. Except this year?Arnett doesn?t have Forbes, Wheat, and Cam Young to hide his lack of talent as a coach. Because, again, as a coach raises his players-players do the same for coaches. And like I just told 7?his defense almost costed us games last year.
This staff is Rockey Felker 2.0.
Offense looks like his out of the shotgun or pistol.
Defense looks awful.
I'll give them two years at most and that might be optimistic.
Our Special Teams have been good so far
C34 seems to be defending State admin a lot recently. Lemo and now Arnett.
Anyway, his entire argument centers around comparing 1 game this year to 1 game last year (Bama). The fact we played worse vs LSU than last year is ignored by C34. The fact we played worse vs Arizona than last year is also ignored by him. The fact we will have a worse record than last year with a veteran team is also ignored.
We'll see what BS he spews to defend Arnett when we're 4-8 and get blown the F out by OM.
We're staring down the barrel of a 4 win season, IF we can beat USM and that's not a given.
